Some references used in my critique of Redrown
[Navigating this series: 1-3|4|5a|5b|Ref|Final]
As a coda to my comments and critique of Redrown's posts about conscription in Singapore (Parts 1-3, Part 4, Part 5a, Part5b), I'm compiling a list of references mentioned, cited or used in the background. A sort of "read list" for the layman newbie wanting to get into discussing the topic of the military in Singapore.
More scholarly studies
- The most important book of all: Tim Huxley, Defending the Lion City: The Armed Forces of Singapore (Allen & Unwin, 2000) (Amazon); Review by Eliot A. Cohen in Foreign Affairs (Sep/Oct 2001).
- Another must read, for the background in Singapore's geo-strategic situation: Michael Leifer, Singapore's Foreign Policy: Coping with Vulnerability (Routledge, 2000) (Amazon; digital version); Review by Tim Huxley (of all people) in RUSI Journal (Oct 2000). (RUSI = Royal United Services Institute for Defence and Security Studies); Another review by See Eng Kiat for the CSC Bookclub (.pdf file), Inspitute of Policy Development, Singapore.
- On more recent developments--Tim Huxley, "Singapore and the Revolution in Military Affairs" (Oct 2002) (.pdf file); part of The Information Revolution in Military Affairs: Prospects for Asia, sponsored by the (US) Office of the Secretary of Defense (webpage).
- Andrew Tan, "Force Modernisation Trends in Southeast Asia", Institute of Defense and Strategic Studies (IDSS) Working Paper (Jan 2004) (.pdf file).
News/Magazine articles:
- Amnon Barzilai, "Israel set up Singapore's army, former officers reveal", Haaretzdaily.com (July 15, 2004) (archived).
- Anthony Paul, "You'd be mad to test the Singapore fortress", ST (Apr 16, 2004) (archived).
- Trish Saywell, "'Places not bases' puts Singapore on the line", Far Eastern Economic Review (May 17, 2001) (archived); Globalsecurity.org writeup on Changi Naval Base.
- George Kaplan, "The Republic of Singapore Navy", The Navy: Magazine of the Navy League of Australia (ca. 2001?).
